Chapter 657
After the court meeting ended, Li Jiancheng found Pei Ji and said to him: "Jingzhao Yin submitted a memorial today. Please help me stop it. After we leave, you will hand it over to His Majesty."
Pei Ji immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll do it now."
After Pei Ji left, Li Jiancheng thought about it, but still felt worried, so he went to Tai Chi Hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Li Shimin's voice.
He made a silence to the eunuch guarding the gate, then pricked up his ears and listened.
"......The two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are extremely brave and performed very well when they were conquering Liu Heita.
"Now they followed Li Yi to Chang'an, it would be a pity that they didn't go to war.
"Please approve the two of them to join the Tiance Mansion and work with me to resist the Turkic cavalry."
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped into the hall: "Aye."
Li Yuan looked at him and smiled: "Dalang is here, sit down."
"Thank you Aye."
Li Jiancheng sat down and looked at Li Shimin with a smile: "Erlang, were you talking about the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche just now?"
"Yes." A ominous premonition surged in Li Shimin's heart. Could it be that he wanted to compete with him?
Sure enough, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan: "Aye, not long ago, Li Yi told me that he would give me two powerful generals under him, and I had already agreed to him.
"These two powerful generals are the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche."
Li Shimin's eyes gradually became colder. He didn't say it early or late, but he just said it when he asked his father for someone, which was clearly a current one.
Since Li Yi entered the court, he has openly regarded himself as a princeling, arrogant and domineering, and often targeted him.
He believed that as long as Li Jiancheng said something, Li Yi would definitely cooperate.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are now officials of the court, not Li Yi's slaves, so they can't just give it to you.
"What's more, I haven't heard my elder brother talk about this before, and the two brothers Xue Wanjun did not enter the East Palace to work as jobs. Did the elder brother deliberately target me?"
"Of course not. You and I are brothers. How could I deliberately target you?" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.
Li Shimin sneered in his heart and said indifferently: "Yes, just ask the two brothers Xue Wanjun."
The smile on Li Jiancheng's face suddenly froze.
This brat insists on dismantling his platform?
Li Yuan knew what was going on at a glance, but the Turkic troops were about to invade the south and the Central Plains had not yet been truly unified. At this time, civil strife should not occur.
Furthermore, the palms and backs of hands are full of flesh, and he will feel distressed if anyone is injured.
So, he could only serve a bowl of water.
"Okay, such a powerful general is time to go to the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was delighted. It seemed that his father was standing on his side.
The next moment, he heard Li Yuan say, "You all want these two people, and you can't be more favorable to one or the other as a father, just one person.
"Xue Wanche entered the Eastern Palace, and Xue Wanjun entered the Tiance Palace."
Li Shimin: "..."
--------------
Qin Shubao wanted to follow Li Shimin to go to the battle, and before going to the battle, he went to visit Luo Shixin.
Unexpectedly, after Luo Shixin learned that the King of Qin was going to go to war, he said to Qin Shubao: "I want to go with you."
"No." Qin Shubao flatly refused: "You have been training for too short and can't go to the battlefield."
Luo Shixin said, "I'll go see the King of Qin", and got up and left.
Qin Shubao hurriedly followed and persuaded Luo Shixin all the way.
When Li Shimin heard that Luo Shixin was going to go to the army, his eyes couldn't help but move to his right leg. When he saw this, he was particularly surprised: "Where is your legs...whether of your crutches?"
Luo Shixin raised his right foot and kicked: "Master, my legs can move, no crutches are needed."
Li Shimin was even more confused when he heard it: "What's going on?"
Luo Shixin smiled, walked to the chair and sat down, then took off the boots and socks of his right foot, and exposed the feet inside for Li Shimin to show.
"King, this is the prosthetic limb given to me by Xiao Yu'er, and it was made by Marquis Pingnan.
"I have been training with this thing for nearly a year. Now I can walk normally and use force."
Li Shimin couldn't believe it: "You can really use force?"
"Of course, why not discuss with the king?" Luo Shixin suggested.
"good."
The three of them came to the yard.
Luo Shixin clasped his fists: "Master, I offended you."
After saying that, he rushed towards Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes were always far away from Luo Shixin's legs. Seeing him walking as fast as he was moving, his movements were flexible, he was amazed.
The two of them fought back and forth, and they had a very exciting fight. In the end, Li Shimin was slightly better and ended the competition.
Li Shimin praised Luo Shixin without hesitation: "In less than a year, you can restore 70% to 80% of the original force. I believe you are very hard-working in your daily training?"
“I’m very pleased that you have such perseverance.
"Okay, this time you can resist the Turks, so you can go with me."
Luo Shixin was very happy: "Thank you, the king."
After leaving the Qin Prince's Mansion, Luo Shixin said to Qin Shubao: "This time thanks to Xiao Yu'er, I can regain my confidence and live a normal life. I want to come and thank her."
"You'd better not go." Qin Shubao said: "She was recently confined by His Majesty and could not leave the princess's mansion. We'd better not bother her."
Luo Shixin: "What trouble did she cause?"
This little girl is punished by His Majesty from time to time, which is so insincere.
Qin Shubao also looked puzzled: "I don't know the specific reason. The king only told me that Xiao Yu'er was willful and angered Your Majesty, so Your Majesty punished her to be confined."
"Okay, then wait until we return to victory and go see her."
......
On the second day, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin led their troops to set off respectively. After they left, Pei Ji presented a memorial from Jingzhao Yin.
"Your Majesty, Jingzhao Yin has already captured the assassin who assassinated Pingnan Hou last time, but these people are all hard-working and have not yet confessed the instructions behind the scenes."
After reading the memorial, Li Yuan said, "Let Jingzhao Yin carefully examine it, you must find the person behind the scenes. If this person is not eliminated, I will feel at ease."
Whenever they think of Lin Zhiwu being assassinated, Li Yuan felt that he was a killer sent by hostile forces. They must be jealous of the Tang Dynasty's powerful firearms, so they sent killers to assassinate Lin Zhiwu.
Now that he has caught the survivor, he must figure out who is behind the scenes.
Two more days later, the case made new progress.
Jingzhao Yin presented Li Yuan with his face: "Your Majesty, after these two days of sleepless interrogation, I have received the killer's confession. Please ask Your Majesty to take a look."
After saying that, he lowered his head and delivered a confession with both hands.
Yue Yu took the confession from him and placed it on the imperial case in front of Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan first saw it, his face was expressionless. As the confession deepened, his face gradually turned as he turned as hell.
After reading it, Li Yuan slapped the imperial desk with a palm: "It's outrageous. I let him go last time, and I thought he would reform himself and be content with his own affairs.
"I didn't expect that he would not repent and did such a traitorous thing."
"Come on, go and call Liu Wenjing to Gu."
......
